Conserving, Preserving and Protecting the Maritime Heritage Lying beneath
British Columbia's Coastal and Inland Waters


Below the surface of British Columbia's lakes, rivers and coastal waters lies a fascinating history. Ships, boats, villages and even a campsite covered by a rising ocean almost 10,000 years ago, provide a rich variety of sites for the underwater archaeologist.

Since 1975, the UASBC, a non-profit group of divers and non-divers, has systematically worked to identify, locate, survey and protect many of these historic resources for the benefit of future generations.

Divers and non-divers are invited to Explore BC's underwater heritage with the UASBC.

Central Coast Expedition
Mid Coast Expedition - We plan on visiting the Central Coast area again this year to continue work on several sites. The principle goal will be to do a search for the elusive George S. Wright off Cape Caution. Dives may also occur on the James Drummond, J.C. Potter, SS Jeanie, and the iron sailing ship Drumrock. Time permitting we also hope to stop in at Cockatrice Bay to visit the wreck of the Maid of Orleans. Cost $600 per person. Limit 8 divers. Call Jacques (250) 474-5797 or email: jmarc@shaw.ca
